Workers exposed to organic solvents often complain of symptoms indicating central or peripheral nervous system effects. Neurophysiological methods offer a sensitive and noninvasive way to study early impairment in the nervous system. The present communication is a review of neurophysiological studies done at the Institute of Occupational Health, Helsinki. The studies concern workers occupationally exposed to various solvents. Both encephalopathic and neuropathic findings were frequent, especially among patients with solvent poisoning. Certain exposure-response relationships emerged when the prevalence of abnormal electroencephalograms was studied in various groups of workers exposed to different levels of solvents.
接触有机溶剂的工人经常抱怨出现一些症状，这些症状表明中枢或周围神经系统受到了影响。神经生理学方法为研究神经系统的早期损伤提供了一种敏感且无创的方式。本报告是对赫尔辛基职业健康研究所进行的神经生理学研究的综述。这些研究涉及职业性接触各种溶剂的工人。脑病和神经病变的发现很常见，尤其是在溶剂中毒患者中。当研究不同溶剂暴露水平的各组工人中异常脑电图的患病率时，出现了某些暴露-反应关系。
